starlet

you step out into the light, severing our heart strings. nothing remains for us to find. i see you mount with wings and float gingerly upon the current. i realise that i have been left behind. i am stationary, rooted deep within this rich earth. i cannot follow you wherever go. i meditate on you: your smile, your scent, the strength of your rugged hands. thoughts to torture, i mean console, in desperate times. i wish you well in your eager pursuit of life. i desire all the best for you, and resignedly accept the futility of my fate. the waters will rage, ravaging and engulfing me. i see the sight before i even smell the rain. beauty is devastation. what glamour will be eternally mine?
